rENNEssEE mIDLAND RAILWAY.


The Ledger yesterday afternoon re-
produced in its editorial columns a
rumor from the Chattanooga Times
to the effect that the Tennessee
Midland had been "gobbled" by one
OF the great railroad corporations OF
the State, and that the scheme had
"died abornin'." Had the Ledger
taken the trouble to call at the
general Office here, or indeed, read the
telegraphic columns Of the APPEAL OF
Sunday, 1t could have obtained off,
cial denial OF the report. The fact is
the progress being made with the
Tennestee Midland is as rapid as
is possible with an enterprise OF such
magnitude. The surveys are well under
way, seven engineering parties beinf
at work now on the line and
preparations are being made to
let q large part Of it by contrac
as soon as the location is completed
and the subscriptions are voted. Tit
rumor was probably based upon tn
fact that one OF tho lines in the Gum
berland mountains had been abAn
doned after examin alton by prelimi
nary survey and engineers were order
ed transferred to Knoxville to make tn
suryey from that point to the Cincir
, natl Southern railway.
